Perfect hunting conditions with clear weather - majestic buck spotted in the winter terrain.
Action-packed day from the get-go! San and I headed out this October afternoon under clear skies for some serious brush hunting down in Florida. The weather stayed perfect all day, which made our still hunting and drive tactics work like a charm. We had Ray Chaters guiding us through some prime territory where the deer love to bed down.
With our gear rigged and ready, we started with some still hunting through the thick cover, moving slow and quiet. San stayed focused as we worked the pinch points where these whitetails like to travel. The clear conditions let us spot movement early, and we managed to tag a nice white-tailed deer using our drive hunting setup! Florida's dense brush country is perfect for this style of hunting because the deer use those natural corridors.
We wrapped up the hunt with smiles all around, and y'all know how good it feels when everything comes together. The afternoon hunt proved that even when you think you might get skunked, patience pays off in gator country. San had the steady nerves to avoid any buck fever when the moment came.
If you're thinking about booking a brush hunting adventure, Ray Chaters offers guided trips on our hunted ground that'll put you right where the action is.
